I've been guilty of not checking in recently as well! I was sleeved on 2/19/13,

HW 396

SW 380

GW 225 - 205 - 198 (it kept changing)

CW 192 - 196 ( I fluctuate )

It's been a crazy journey for sure, it's been hard for me to stabilize and quit losing. I've upped my calorie intake to 1500, and if I exercise (which I do 5 times a week) I eat more so I have a net 1500. That seems to have helped it. I don't crave the carbs like I used to which is a blessing but I don't deny myself either. I joined Weight Watchers last November with my wife and it's been great. I made lifetime about a month ago and my wife has lost 62 pounds! We're getting healthy for the next half of our lives! I ran (that's right, I RAN) my first 5K with my daughter yesterday. We did it in 38 minutes flat which I'm happy about. It's something I couldn't even have comprehended 200 pounds ago! Crossing that finish line was so empowering for me, and I felt such pride in my accomplishments. It was a great day and I owe it all to my sleeve (and some hard work from me)! In another 6 months I'm going to start looking into plastic surgery for skin removal from the belly and chest, then this will be complete! I love my new life and my new approach to living it! Cheers to being healthy!! Thanks for all of your support and inspiration along the way, you don't know how much you've all helped me! God speed!

Hi gang! I'm still here though I don't post as much as I used to. Like many have said the weight loss is now serious hard work. I bounce between 137-141. Would like to get the last 10 lbs off and hit my ultimate goal of 130 but as long as I don't gain, I would honestly be happy if the scale never moved again. Maintenance is hard work as old habits want to reemerge. I still weigh daily but have been thinking about quitting the scale and focusing on cleaning up the diet this summer. Miss those early post op days! :-) It's great to hear everyone is well and at or close to their goals. Please continue to check in from time to time, it keeps me focused and motivated.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
